Wright Hears an Apology From Franco for Criticism (RR)

Yes...but is Franco ever going to apologize for ruining many parties by wearing that stenchy orange-pealed Sanitation Department T-shirt?

David Wright landed in Philadelphia on Thursday night and saw that while he was in the air on the Mets’ charter flight, he had received a message. Upon checking his voice mail, he heard an apology from John Franco.

Franco, the former Mets closer and onetime teammate of Wright’s, had called to apologize for his critical comments about Wright’s leadership, or supposed lack thereof. While still not happy with the comments, Wright said before Friday night’s game against the Phillies that he appreciated the message from Franco and planned to call Franco back.

“Johnny and I have a great relationship,” Wright said. “I’m glad he called and apologized. I’ve always respected his opinion. But he’s not in here on a day-to-day basis, so he can’t really know what’s going on. If it was one of the guys in here that said something like that, it would be one thing. But when it’s someone from the outside, I really don’t feel the need to defend myself. It doesn’t bother me at all.”

I was hoping Franco would pinch hit for Wright tonight. I never thought I'd dread seeing him come up.

I know the Mets are only 2 games out but I feel really bad about their chances for the rest of the season. They are lucky to be so close but I just don't have a good vibe about them right now, even in comparison to the rest of this less than mediocre division.
